Fernandinho challenges his Manchester City teammates to maintain their current form and lift the Premier League title to be considered the greatest of all time.

Fernandinho has insisted that the current Manchester City crop will only be considered the greatest of all time if they go on to win the Premier League title.

The two-time champions have earned many plaudits in the early months of the campaign after opening up a five-point lead at the top of the standings.

City have won nine of their 10 top-flight outings thus far and also have a perfect record in cup competitions, but Fernandinho - who has featured 14 times in all competitions this term - is not getting too carried away just yet.

"It's good to hear the fans think we are the strongest squad, as it means they are enjoying our games," the Manchester Evening News quotes him as saying.

"We need to keep the momentum going and hope they are happy at the end - only then will we know if this is the best Man City ever. To win 13 games is good – especially for our fans – but we are only thinking game by game, step by step.

"We have now a difficult game in Europe at Napoli and a tough league game at home to Arsenal next Sunday. Napoli will not be easy but we know if get a result there it can give us qualification to the next round of the Champions League. And we all know how tough the Premier League is. We have to think about each game – everyone can drop points."

City's tally of 28 points after 10 games means that they have made the joint-best start to a Premier League campaign of any side.
